‘If you are planting a tree and hear that the Mashiach has come, first finish the planting, then go to greet him.’

Here is an interesting sidelight related to your thoughts on the planting of trees ......and "Yah'shua Mashiach".

It was Judaism that championed the idea of Tikkun Olam -- repairing the world. It is in our folklore that we read the well-known tale of Honi, who saw an old man planting a carob tree. "How long before that tree bears fruit?" asked Honi. "Seventy years," replied the old man. And Honi asked, "Will you be alive in seventy years to enjoy the fruit?" And the man answered, "When I was born, this world was filled with carob trees planted by my ancestors. And likewise will I plant trees for my children."

This is a variation of what I tell - more often liberals - when they basically ask, What's in that for me?"

I say that I want to make this world better than I found it for my children, their children and theirs...and yours.

Interesting site. Thank you so much.

God bless You and Yours....
